THE HEALER - 2016
A young man suddenly discovers he has the gift of healing. Trying to understand it and the new reality it offers, a teenage girl with terminal cancer unexpectedly shows him the way.
The Healer is a 2016 Spanish-Canadian-American comedy-drama film written and directed by Paco Arango and starring Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Camilla Luddington, Kaitlyn Bernard, Jorge Garcia and Jonathan Pryce.Alec Bailey isn't necessarily a bad guy. He's just a guy who's lost and a little broken.
After the death of his twin brother, Alec had a tough time coping with life. He let their London-based repair shop flounder and he started investing all his time in affairs and heavy gambling. In fact, he's so deep in it all now that his business is closing, he has to keep an eye out for raging husbands at every turn, and the Russian mob wants his head.
So it appears as a happy coincidence when Alec's estranged uncle, Raymond Heacock, shows up with a mysterious but very appealing deal: He'll pay off Alec's debt-to the tune of some 89,000 pounds-and in exchange, Alec just needs to get away for a while.
REVIEWS
- This movie will hit you in the heart, if you have one.
Well written, heartwarming and well acted, especially by a young lady who stole the show.
Michael R Severeid- What a great movie. It was amazing to learn it was dedicated to Paul Newman. I remember what a great actor he was.
Stayinthelite Violet- Very enjoyable and uplifting film. It is so refreshing and energising to watch a film that keeps you guessing and interested and yet it is themed on the "goodness" in people rather than human darkness and dysfunction. Made me smile on the inside. Thank you Paco Arango - and thank you Paul Newman!.
